Reedin SuperModel V6 Overview: Lightweight Aerolite Frame Upgrade on a Kite for Anyone

After more than five years on the market, the SuperModel has become the foundation of Reedin's lineup, and for good reason. It's known as a true do-it-all kite that works for nearly every rider. Now in its sixth version, the question is simple: Can you improve a kite that already does everything so well?

Jeff caught up with Kevin Langeree in Tarifa to find out what's new and whether it's worth the upgrade.

What's New in the SuperModel V6?

The biggest update for V6 is the introduction of the Aerolite Frame. According to Kevin, this new leading edge material makes the kite:

Lighter
More responsive
Faster in the air

At the same time, the team refined the bridle system to further improve overall performance.

According to Kevin, the goal wasn't to reinvent the kite, but to enhance what already works. "We made the kite lighter and more responsive... but still kept that SuperModel DNA."

Lighter Feel Without Sacrificing Durability

Any time a kite gets lighter, durability becomes a concern. Kevin explained that while weight reduction was a priority, longevity was never compromised: "We want to make high-end products, but durability is one of the most important things for us."

The result is a kite that feels more lively in the air while still holding up over time.

Why the SuperModel Still Works for 95% of Riders

One thing that hasn't changed is the SuperModel's versatility. This is still a kite that loves:

Twintip riding
Strapless surf
Foiling
Beginner to advanced skill levels

Kevin puts it simply: "This kite fits for 95% of kiters." That's a big reason why it was Reedin's only kite model for years, and why so many riders keep coming back to it.

What Returning Riders Will Notice

If you've ridden a previous version, expect to find everything you already like, but more refined:

Intuitive feel and easy positioning in the sky
Reliable lift and boost for jumping
Smooth, predictable loops
Excellent drift for wave riding
Strong stability for foiling in lighter winds

The biggest difference is a lighter, more responsive feel that makes the kite even more fun to fly.

New Colorways for 2025

The SuperModel V6 also gets a fresh visual update with three color options:

Mint (Kevin's personal favorite)
Blue
Gray with pink (limited edition)

The designs are clean, modern, and look great on the water.

The 2026 Reedin SuperModel comes in three colorways.

Should You Upgrade?

If your current SuperModel is a few years old, V6 offers a noticeable step forward in:

Weight
Responsiveness
Overall feel

However, it doesn't change the core experience. This is still the same trusted, all-around kite, just more refined and more fun.

Final Thoughts

Reedin didn't try to reinvent the SuperModel with V6, and that's exactly why it works. By focusing on lighter materials and subtle tuning, they've improved performance without losing the kite's identity. If you already love the SuperModel, you'll feel right at home. And if you've never tried one, this might be the best version yet to start with.
